After Jayden transferred in from CN, the Bears became an immediate contender to win it all. Jayden is one of the top QBs in the state with a quick release, runs the Bears offense so well and makes tremendous decisions. Jayden sprained his ankle in week 11 and played on it not fully 100% because he loves the game of football and is the leader in the club house of the PAGMETER QB of the year in 2022.

Bryson was fantastic at receiver catching 65 footballs, with 1,700 all-purpose yards, scored 16 TDs, returned kickoffs, punts, All Star at free safety and in 2022, could play some QB like big brother. Bryson also gets it done in the classroom with a 3.8 GPA and is now on plenty of college recruiting list with offers already coming in from Georgia Southern, Jacksonville State, Arkansas State and Florida State.

The Thunderbirds love to pound that ball and they had the perfect guy who had speed and power after rushing for 1,597 yards, scored 23 TDs and zero times did the ball ever hit the ground. When your star running back doesn’t fumble, it makes your offense even more dangerous.

MICHAEL IRIYE-Senior-MISSION OAK HAWKS (Athlete)
Iriye is a coaches dream because he is an All Star with any position he plays. Iriye was dangerous at QB with his tremendous arm and speed when the Hawks needed him to step up. Then it was time to move to wide receiver/running back and the All Star stepped up again. The East Yosemite League Offensive Player of the Year was also the Hawks kicker and punter. The super athlete accounted for 2,138 total yards in helping the Hawks win the EYL for the first time in 10 years.

DEMIAN GARCIA-INDEPENDENCE FALCONS (MLB)

LOGAN WATTENBARGER-Senior-MADERA COYOTES (WR/DB)

JC TAPIA-Senior-DOS PALOS BRONCOS (OL/DL)

TRAVIS ROYAL-Senior-ST JOSEPH KNIGHTS (WR/LB)
Travis dominated on both sides of the ball and the team leader. The Central Coast All Star, (who is also an All-Star baseball player) was a huge part of the Knights who got hot in the 2nd half of the season. Every coach would love to have Travis because he’s a leader, hard nose player, plays at full throttle, never comes off the field and has a 4.3 GPA.

CASIMIRO BARRAGAN-Senior-DINUBA EMPERORS (QB)
The Emperors have had a long line of outstanding QBs throughout school history and Barragan belongs on the list after throwing 2,434 yards and 29 TD passes. The Emperors scored more points than any team in the section and Casimiro only threw 1 interception and that was a tipped ball.

CADE GRETEIN-Junior-LIBERTY PATRIOTS (T/TE)
